backyard fences. when officers caught up with him, they returned fire. it's unclear if goulet got the bulletproof vest from the trunk of the police car. >> there's no doubt in my mind that the officer's who engaged goulet stopped an imminent threat to the company and neutralized that threat before it reached out and harmed the people we're sworn to protect. >> reporter: at a vigil tonight, many knew the fallen officers. butler was the department's top specialist at solving sex crimes. >> it's so hard to explain the numbness and the lack of ability to do anything to help. >> reporter: baker was the city's most experienced investigator. his daughter ashley remembers their last conversation. >> my dad told me how smart i was and how proud he was of me.

and that -- and -- just things he thought about me. he just made me feel so good. >> reporter: and santa cruz police officers could report back to duty as soon as tomorrow. they have been told to take their time. >> we know the officers who were killed there. we see them in their uniforms and we know they were wearing plain clothes. were they wearing body armor. >> reporter: oftentimes officers in plain clothes use their own discretion whether or not to wear body armor. they did not say whether they were wearing their bulletproof vests. we should learn that at the press conference tomorrow. >> kiet do in santa cruz. thank you, kiet. the gunman's own father described his son as a ticking time bomb. before last night's explosion

of violence, jeremy goulet criminal record traced back to portland, where a vicious confrontation cost him a piece of his ear. dave jackson continues our team coverage. >> reporter: jeremy goulet in a portland, oregon, courtroom in 2007, charged with invasion of privacy for photographing a young woman naked in a shower. >> it felt horrible. for a while, i couldn't go to the bathroom by myself. >> reporter: she screamed and her boyfriend fought with goulet, who twice fired an illegal handgun during the brawl and got the top of his left ear bitten off. it all ended in a two-year prison term, followed bid goulet heading south to berkeley, to this apartment house, where neighbors say he was both quiet and sly, unsettling enough that one couple considered moving away and tonight they want the whole criminal episode to go away. the former marine worked at this coffee shop. female employees say he was disturbing, even threatening, during his year behind the

counter. one man said he knew goulet well and tried to calm his attitude toward women at work. he told me he was shocked to learn of the santa cruz killings but he had always feared that jeremy goulet could turn violent. in santa cruz, goulet had just been fired from another coffee shot, the kind grind, where even customers said they found him uncomfortable. >> oh, i just remember he was intense. everything about him was like kind of, you know -- >> reporter: we're here at the scene in santa cruz where the shooting took place, the shooting that ended jeremy's life. santa cruz police have already referred to this as the worst week in the department's history. that's certainly the case. it's also a bad week for jeremy's brother, for jeremy's father, who lives in southern california, and for all those who knew him throughout that

short turbulent life. live in santa cruz, david jackson, kpix 5. liz? >> david thank you. and we've learned goulet was in the marine corps reserve from 1996 until 2002. he worked as a helicopter mechanic and with military police. >> we're also getting a revealing look at the man police say shot and killed an oakland rapper on the vegas strip. >> you see these? we call that the counting game right here, see what i'm saying? >> that's the suspect flashing a stack of $100 bills. joe vazquez has more on the suspect and the woman with him. >> reporter: he's a hustler, a criminal, a pimp, who posed as a photographer, and now it's his own images online that are getting a lot of attention. triple murder suspect, ammar harris, has an extensive online footprint with countless references to women, guns and money. in fact, this youtube video

shows harris, nicknamed jayda, bragging over a huge lot of cash. >> [ bleep ] it's not a problem for me to keep going, but i don't feel like counting anymore. >> reporter: apparently he got tired of counting. now detectives hope he gets tired of running. harris, who has a criminal record that includes robbing, pimping and sexual assault, is still on the loose and possibly traveling with this woman, 22- year-old tanisha howard, who the cops are describing as a person of interest. it's been almost a week since the shooting on the vegas stripe that killed kenny cherry, who was shot while driving his maserati. >> he was young, handsome, you know. and he had a maserati. who wouldn't be jealous? >> reporter: cherry's family members continue to insist he was not a pimp. >> did he ever have association with prostitutes.

>> yes he has. >> explain. >> well, ken did music, so a lot of people come to his shows. >> were you working independently or did you have a pimp? >> i was working independently. i didn't even know what i was doing. it was a mistake. >> this story continues to change even tonight. you got more information from vegas. >> reporter: right. the vegas police department just put out this press release here. what they're saying is tanisha howard, the woman who is believed to be with the suspect, they're saying she's no longer considered a missing person and is no longer a person of interest. so what we knew before was they thought maybe she was with him and that she was with him and might even have been in danger and she may have been a person of interest who may have been in the car at the time. now they're backing off of that. she's no longer a person of interest. >> i assume they have evidence that supports that theory. any idea where this guy is?

>> he has ties to atlanta, new york and las vegas. he could be hiding anywhere. >> joe vazquez, thank you very much. a wild protest sent the entire vallejo city council running to the back room as an angry crowd took over their meeting and their microphones. the group, called the white writers liberation party, was angry about a recent police shooting. last night, officers didn't arrest anyone, but today, the city manage told us that won't be the case next time. >> we're prepared to take stronger action the next time we have a circumstance like we had last night. and we're not going to allow council meetings to be shut down like that again. >> police eventually broke up the unruely crowd, allowing the meeting to continue. mayor jean quan says oakland is making a comeback. she gave her state of the city

address tonight. but her scripted remarks were rather different than we've been hearing on the street lately. so juliette goodrich asked her about that. >> as your mayor, there's nothing more important to me than the safety of every individual in the city. >> reporter: but actions may speak louder than words to oaklanders concerned about less cops and more crime on the streets. and eyesores like this, hard to miss. >> this isn't art. this is vandalism. >> reporter: he says the writing is on the wall, literally. >> and yet we're frustrated because nothing is being done to get this problem resolved. >> reporter: mayor quan addressed the frustration, saying it comes down to community policing and partnerships with neighbors to prevent crime. but listen to what one of the mayor's neighbors told kpix 5 just this week. >> the group of neighbors that got together felt that we

needed to do something immediate and something meaningful. >> reporter: tonight, i asked mayor quan about her own neighbors. >> so there's been stories about them come plaing about violence and wanting you to do more. >> there's a couple of guys in my neighborhood. i have a lot of neighbors. >> reporter: but actually it's more than a couple of guys. it's 60 neighbors who have hired private security guards to patrol the neighborhood. >> one of the most common questions is, why don't you just hire new officers? >> and tonight, jean quan also apologized for an item in her newsletter promoting a lock- picking class. the infrastructure is in disarray. take a look at this. 23 homes, 12 cars damaged after an old water pipe burst. hundreds of thousands of gallons poured onto 15th avenue and wawona in the inner parkside neighborhood. in some places, the water was

three feet deep. >> i was in water about a foot and a half probably. my car had water in it, parked in the garage. so it was quite a mess. >> 16-inch water main. no one has been displaced. crews will be back out there tomorrow to try to fix a sinkhole. the bay area man believed to be missing with his girlfriend in south america laughed when he heard about the commotion they caused back here at homing, according to peru's tourism minister. the couple blamed the lack of communication to not having access to the internet or phone. their family thought they had been kidnapped. the couple is on a six-month bike trip. a bay area man has been reunited with his $4,000 bicycle after undercover police posed as buyers and nabbed the suspected thief. the victim says he saw our

story about stolen high-end bicycles being sold at local flea markets and he began scanning online listings looking for the very distinctive race bike. well tonight, i joined undercover police who agreed to meet the suspect at a cal tran parking lot. the bike was recovered. and the victim says it pays to be persistent. >> hopefully it's encouraging people that, you know, if they pursue trying to get their bike back, they may get it back. it does take some effort and some looking in certain places, but we're starting to see things. hopefully what's more of an impact is curbing the bike theft industry. >> and you can see there, the high-end bike was stripped. but the valuable carbon fiber frame was recovered. that's where all the worth is. the relieved owner did not want to appear on camera for fear of

reprisal. authority say bicycle theft is up over 80% in the past year in the bay area alone. we've learned the state of california is investigating a bay area church, a church that parishioners tell us was selling tickets to heaven. those tickets, they tell us, don't come cheap. in a story you'll only see right here on kpix 5, linda yee shows us, instead of heaven, these parishioners ended up stuck with louisiana swamp land. >> reporter: many churches ask for donations. but some members of the general assembly church with congregations in california and two other states say the promise of eternal life cost them dearly. >> it was a nightmare. >> reporter: horris says in 2002p pastor lacy hawkins started preaching about a real

estate investment opportunity. >> he's the only man that can put you in third heaven, and if you don't support this, then you're not a part of the church. >> reporter: hawkins second-in- command headed up the venture called day star. it promised returns as high as 35%. >> i invested about $120,000. >> reporter: - his retirement money. and he wasn't alone. >> originally i had invested $250,000 from my stock. >> reporter: former member julio says he never quite knew where the money went. >> any time we asked questions, we were told, you're a bad spirit. what's wrong with you? >> reporter: day star operated out of this building in vallejo but suddenly shut down in 2006. stunned church members asked for their money back, only to find out it was all gone. the state then launched an investigation. the department of corporations issued a desist and refrain

order last july, saying the two church leaders failed to disclose that day star operated at a loss every year. and that the company never told its investors it could extend repayment dates to infinity. in other words, they never had to repay them. >> i'm sorry for how things turned out. but it wasn't in my control. >> reporter: general assembly's michael parker agreed to talk with kpix 5 with his lawyer present and on condition that he could record us recording him. >> i had no way to know that the market would turn as bad as it did. >> reporter: parker said accusations from former members quoted in the state's complaint are false. >> the parts that i'm saying when i say salacious is when you see things in there, like we told people in the church that if they didn't invest, they couldn't go to heaven. >> that's what they told us. is that true? >> no. >> did you say to them, if they didn't invest, or if you try to take this money out, that you would not be able to get to the

third heaven? >> that is absolutely offensive. not only would i not say that, i would never attend a church that would say that. >> you had somewhat up to $20 million in investments since you started this project. >> it's probably less than that, but it was definitely multimillions involved. >> so where is the money? >> what do you mean where is the money? >> when you shut it down, what happened to all the money? >> well, the money, again, is in the land that we brought. >> reporter: like day star's biggest land deal called the woodlands parish in louisiana. >> it was a land project. >> and what happened? >> well, hurricane katrina happened. >> reporter: he points out that despite day star's troubles, the general assembly correct -- congregation is standing by its leaders. >> it's definitely a mind control thing. it is so mind-controlled.

it's not about jesus but it's about brother hawkins. >> reporter: well, tomorrow night at 11, in part 2, former members of general assembly talk about how the church took total control of their lives. meanwhile, sources tell us the church is also under criminal investigation. >> can't buy your way there, huh? >> no. and i think you need to check more before you give your money out. now, we want to mention that michael parker was a jefferson award winner and featured in a story on kpix 5 last november. the award was for a program he runs called life skills that he says helps inner city kids. the party is on. there will be a weekend of festivals to mark the opening of the new bay bridge. today the toll authority approved 5.6 million to pay for bathrooms and buses and other things. a bridge walk, a half marathon

washing out as it heads toward the bay area. we'll have cloud cover earlier tomorrow morning. much of the moisture will stay in the north bay and just kind of wash out to the east, all because that dome of high pressure is still protecting us. and the dome of high pressure will be on the move. by friday, which will be the warmest day of the week, we will get an offshore wind, wind coming out of the northeast. that will be low 70's for everybody. even san francisco will likely hit 70 degrees. then changes. the first change of high pressure begins to move out. by sunday, we'll be down to the low 60's for highs. and by tuesday and wednesday of next week, two straight days, with a rain chance. first time that has happened so far this year. tomorrow mid to upper 60's. livermore, 67. san jose, 67. los altos, 67. 68 walnut creek. pleasanton, sunshine tomorrow. sonoma, you'll hit 70.

and sausalito, 62. upper 60's on saturday, lower 60's on sunday and monday. we're dropping the temperature. and look at the middle of next week. ken has been calling it. it starts raining in march. and guess what? we've got rain for the first tuesday and wednesday in march. >> i've been guessing it. thanks, paul. coming up, a major change that music lovers won't like. the new limit for pandora listeners.

but pandora says, it has to tighten its belt. you'll have to hit the "pause" button more who doesn't love free music? >> but pandora says it's gonna have to tighten its belt. you will have to hit the pause button more often to keep listening to pandora for free on your mobile device. the oakland company is limiting free streaming to 40 hours a month starting this week. pandora says it's to keep up with the rising costs of music licenses. to keep listening, you'll have to upgrade to the $36 a year version or switch to a

computer. prices going up, man. >> yeah. prices is going up. and alex smith is going out. >> i heard about that. >> this is been a ridiculous rumor for the last week. one guy said alex smith was going to be traded but he didn't know who. but we finally have that information, folks. and a near record night for that man.

biggest stage.. curry coming off 38 last night against the pacers.. his first stephen curry almost made history on basketball's biggest stage. curry coming off a 38 performance against the pacers. his first three went down halfway through the second quarter. then the floodgates just opened. he hit them from the wing, from the top of the key, from the corner. he was 11-of-13 from beyond the arc, which sent a franchise record and was one off from tieing the league record set by kobe bryant. his final shot gave the warriors a one-point lead in the fourth. then, with the game tied, it was jr smith, giving new york the lead for good. the knicks win, despite 54 from

curry. it's just the 23rd 50-point game in gard history. alex smith has been traded to the kansas city chiefs. smith was the first overall pick in 2005 and took the 49ers to the nfc championship game before losing his job to colin kaepernick. it's a good deal for the niners and alex, who gets a chance to restart his career once again. we'll be right back.
